What is epic music?

Epic music is a broad grouping of music genres that evolved out of the Hollywood cinematic soundtrack music genre. It mainly utilizes traditional classical orchestra instruments but used in a way that is very majestic, powerful and epic in it's sound - lots of dramatic percussion, brass swells and string ostinatos that create sense of danger and heroic feats. However, the term epic music is widely used especially on youtube to mean quite freely a broad range of instrumental music that usually scales a wide ranger of styles from electronic hybrid music to totally pure classical instrumentation. The main thing that combines these genres together is the use of often sampled instruments, certain kind of cinematic soundtrack music influence and sense of epic adventure / danger.

Notable artists

There are quite a few well known artists especially on youtube who are known for their celtic music style. Such artists as Celestial Aeon Project, Two Steps From Hell, Brunuhville, Matti Paalanen to name a few have gained a massive following for their music.

Biography

I'm a composer/producer from Finland and have produced mainly instrumental music since 2001. My main projects revolve around celtic music, epic music, fantasy music, dark music, film music, ambient and minimalism genres. I release my music under Creative Commons but offer commercial licences via french Jamendo.com. I specialise in free background music, hence Creative Commons. Creative Commons music is getting bigger and bigger these days and I have been one of the most licenced artists on Jamendo for three years now. I have specialized in producing instrumental music using virtual orchestra sound libraries in spirit of film music / soundtrack music. I also produce electronic ambient soundscapes and more modern crossover tunes that integrate virtual orchestra with electronic patterns and elements. Also with the Frozen Silence project I create minimalistic piano music and guitar music with instrumental, mainly melancholic atmospheres.
